Easy Day?

After Saturday I am still feeling a little beat up so today I wanted to take it a little easier.  However if I had the gas to push it through this one a little more it could have been a really good one.  As it was I just kinda moved through this slow but watched form and just enjoyed moving. 1 to 10 25 min AMRAP 100 meter row 2 Double Squat Wall Balls 3 50lbs Slam balls 4 Gassers down and back equals one 5 Burpee Pull Ups 6 Sand bag get ups (3 each arm tried the 100 lbs Sand bag not going to happen) 7 Knees 2 Elbows Holding a 20 lbs wall ball between knees 8 25lbs Push ups 9 Dips 10 Squats with a 45lbs bag Only got through 2 rounds had a very ADD morning which is never good when working out.  This will be one I will hit again I think I should be able in the 25 minutes to get through three to four rounds at least.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot 50 and someone get the name of that truck that just hit me

Some days you just need a good long work out.  I devised something that was suppose to take about the same amount of time as a half marathon.  I have not done many wods that lasted 90 plus minutes but this one a 90 minute cap was not enough.  This is one that I will have to keep working on I think this will be an end of the month bench mark.  In 90 minutes I got through the kettle bells swings I think I could have gotten through the whole thing in two hours.  As I sit here typing everything is starting to ache and it feels like  a very large truck just hit me.  I will also tell you that having a battle buddy there to help you through a work out like this is so very important.  I am very impressed with Dena today after doing 1 and a half filthy fifties she hung in there with me today. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot 50 Every movement is done 50 Times....  Time cap today at 90 Minutes Over head press 105 lbs (Any way you want to move it from should...

Busy Operator and 1-10

Really not feeling all that great today.  I think all the time on the road is starting it take it's toll.  Today I was going to work through the busy operator and I got through some of it but just was not feeling it today.  So today's Wod was Front Squat @190 6 min emom of 3 reps per minute Bench Press @ 190 5 Min emom  of 3 reps and six pull ups Then I had enough time to work through one round of this I think I will modify it maybe take out the row and add a farmers carry.   100 Meter Row 2 Double Squat Wall Balls 3 50lbs Slam Balls 4 Shuttle Runs down and back count as one 5 Burpees 6 Sand Bag get ups (3 each arm) 7 sit ups with 30lbs slam ball 8 Push Ups 25lbs plat on back 9 Dips with a weighted vest 10 Lunges with 45lbs sand bag(10 each leg) I think next time I do this it will be AMRAP of 25 to 30 minutes.  

Thor's Grace and GI Jane

Been a while.  I am training for a go ruck in Oct.  So I have a little time but I have work to do.  Today was more of a weighted work out and got worse the longer the WOD went on.  If I can not get through a work out quick then it gets nasty because I have time to think about how disappointed I am in what I am doing.  Today was one of those days. Warm Up 5 Rounds 200 Meter Row 10 Box jumps 24 inch landing in the squat. Thors Grace It is just grace how ever it goes like this 30 Ground to Overhead for time The Thor part of this is that every time you let go of the bar it adds 5 Burpees to the end of your WOD. The "this is taken to long and you are not moving fast enough" aspect of the work out.  After you drop the bar twice the battle starts to weigh heavy on Thor so on your third break you add five pounds and you keep adding five every time you break.   I broke six times so the weight got heavy and that is a lot of burpees.  So as I f...
